    Branding screen

The branding screen is designed for self-service in the absence of staff. It allows attendees to easily walk up, search for themselves, scan their QR code, or even register if needed. They can then check in and collect their badge, all through a streamlined, self-serve process.


Steps to Design Your Branding Screen

  1. Click on the “Branding Screen” Tab to open the branding screen settings.
  2. This will take you to the next screen, where you’ll find a sidebar on the right with various options that allow you to create your own custom-designed self-serve screen.
  3. The branding Screen consists of 4 parts:
      1. Background Image
      2. Search User List image (If attendees click on this image, it will open the user list for them). Think of this like a button for the user list. 
      3. Scan QR Code image (If attendees click on this image, it will open the QR code scanner for them to scan their QR code). Think of this like a button to access the scanner. 
      4. Register Button Image (If attendees click on this image, it will open the registration form within the app).

Uploading Images:
  1. To upload and position images, click on each of the sections to expand them. This will reveal the upload and positioning options for each. 
  2. You can drag and drop to resize and position them. 
  3. You can also use the axis controls to set their coordinates for the images and control their dimensions. 
  4. Once you have set up the relevant images, click on “Publish Changes” to save the changes made.
